#cc!roman

but one of the things that never fails to get him to go ‘but...wait w h a t’ is when roman makes stupid ‘ur mom’ or ‘ur dad’ jokes 

ro and pat met in the 2nd grade

clung to each other like koalas and never let go lmao

people often thought they were dating or had crushes on each other, cause its like that even in elementary school and junior high

(id know sadly) ((people often thought me and one of my friends were dating/had crushes on each other and we werent and it was so annoying))

sometimes,,,especially in 5th grade,,, they just met up with one another and talked about how annoying crushes were,,,

cause like, people were always talking about crushes and how cute and ‘hot’ these people were

and they didnt understand

like, they still dont know the line between attraction and affection

(im not projecting shuddup)

so they just talked about how confusing it was,,,and they bonded over having no crushes, at least none that they knew of

and it was nice cause they could just vent knowing the other would have no judgement

im crying now its pure

ok dee and lo met in 4th grade

cause dee wasnt exactly popular cause of his heterochromia, and some even made fun of his freckles.

little kids can be mean man

and lo was pretty socially awkward

he just wasnt that outgoing, pretty introverted, and just didnt talk to people

cause, honestly? it was scary

so the two kinda bonded over being outcasts, as sad as that sounds

like they just noticed each other avoiding the other kids

and idk they just somehow interacted

and clicked

suddenly they werent lonely anymore

because they had a friend

one that understood them, understood loneliness, and was also a left brain boy-

so yeah its wholesome too

then vee and re met each other in 1st grade

they seemed like an unlikely pair

a chaos monger, even at age 6 (or whatever first grade age is i forgot lmao) and a kid frightened by many things

but remus was actually mindful of virgil’s fear and made him laugh

and virgil pulled remus out of trouble, but also understood him

so they just became friends

stuck up for one another, caused chaos together, and pulled each other out of trouble

jzkfjazfjkajf my heart

as for how each group came together to form one whole crew?

dee and ro met each other in 6th grade with theater club

they became friends due to their inner drama geek

and bonded

and, like people do, introduced their respective friends to each other

so those 4 formed a group

pat, ro, and dee actually bonded rather well, but since lo was never good at social interaction, he felt awkward

so one time in the middle of 6th grade, he just felt like it was all too much and he was just on the outskirts, he sat at a lunch table alone, where the three couldnt see him

re and v just notice this kid eatin lunch alone

like the gremlins they are, plop down and start making conversation

mostly remus, but virgil popped in sometimes

lo was startled, as one would be, but eventually warmed up to them, finding them actually pretty funny, and chaotic just like him

so he came out of his shell even more

eventually the other three find him, questioning as to why he didnt sit with them (more so concerned, not like jealous, because lo usually sits with them and they didnt want him to feel bad)

and lo just kinda mumbles he’ll tell them later

the three notice vee and re and are like ‘huh’

but then lunch bell rings and they gotta go to their respective classes

later lo explains his reasons, they explain that it wasnt the case and they were sorry for making him feel like that, while lo assures him that part of it was his own self’s fault, cause sometimes he overanalyzes stuff

but yeah v and re start slowly integrating themself into their group

and by the end of 6th grade

they were all a group

and you know what happened from there

im talking like strategy councils, walkie talkies, code words

yk medieval, ro’s specialty, with the monsters like vampires nd stuff, v’s specialty

all the while doing some dumb stuff and joking around

babey

like remus with his ma is like: ma, mom, mama, mam

and then roman is: dearest mother of mine, ma'am, mommeh, maman, and MAAAAAAAAAAAA

and then the roles switch with their papa

roman calls his pa: pa, papa, dad, the occasional 'padre'

and then remus: fatherrrrrrrrr, padre, daddio, pops, and lastly,,,aye papi i need help with my math homework pleaseeee

occasionally they switch so that roman has the odd variations for their dad, and remus for their mom as to keep their parents on their toes

when their baby brother ryan becomes older (like,,,at 8) they start getting him in on their shennagians so its even more confusing

full page of drawings once more

ok now the sagas actually over

(i hope)
